Our trip to LAs garment district stop at an old favorite Michael Levine Wow the prices have gone up too high for end of the spools. I got better deals on the street for the same fabrics. I Couldnt find any burlap or plain cotton prints all mix blends. Hey but its still old LA California

This is a good store but they are allowing people to shop in there without masks on. LA County is still mandating masks indoors, they are violating county law.

Very nice folks. While making a fur coat for Burning Man, I was able to find loop connected, buttons and PLEASANTLY SURPRISED to find an entire wall of very nice-looking gold necklaces with various pendants and jewelry styles, all for $1!

Review №16

Yes! They are open, with new owners. Not the same though....lovely workers still. But very expensive and overpriced. No sales and no wholesale. Very disappointed. A mere ghost of its former self

Review №17

Before they sold to the new owner this was the perfect place to go for years if you were planning a project and buying wholesale.They have new owners. There were zero items on sale. Due to the closing, covid and reopening almost all the staff is no longer there. They no longer do wholesale (as of when I went 2 weeks ago). Its all set pricing.

Store is closed for renovations. It’s the 12th today and it hasn’t opened up. There should be a notification on google before getting here. It’s in an incredibly annoying area to park and get to so people should be informed about this beforehand.While I took this photo there were 4 other people who went up to the door and realized the door was shut. I was only there for maybe a minute.

Review №20

I love this place no matter who owns it. Always good service. The inventory is a little limited as I believe panic buying of fabric has set in. They were very accommodating though and are going to try and order the print I want. At least they are trying.

Review №21

Really great fabric store. Lots of selection in different types of fabric. They have really unique fabrics that I dont see at other stores and the fabric is a nice quality. Their cotton fabric section is really large so make sure you have some time to spend browsing when you go here. They have a nice selection of notions too. I would defiantly recommend this store to anyone looking for a fabric store with variety.

Review №22

Ive loved Michael Levine for YEARS--it is one of THE fabric stores to visit when in the fashion district. I was planning a trip back up this week but I was worried it would be closed for good like the other reviews said. It doesnt help that their website is gone and the phone number on Google is out of service. However, I went on Wednesday the 24th and was relieved to see it was still there and running! Some other reviewers commented that the new management made the store feel different, but I didnt get that vibe. They had all of their fabrics and notions arranged in the same way, and it didnt feel emptied out or thin. To me, its the same. One star off for some of their prices (even Joann charges less for quilting cotton print), but Im so glad that Michael Levine is still there!!! Ill definitely be coming back soon.

Staff was COOL. Went here 1 morning after my little guy informed me of a school project at the LAST MINUTE. ML was out of what he needed but the employees were MORE THAN HAPPY TO LET ME KNOW OF WHERE I COULD GET WHAT I NEEDED. I love helpful ppl. Its unfortunate that helpful & happy customer service reps no longer go hand & hand but I found that here. Thank you ladies @ ML during morning shift.

Review №37

Pretty generic fabric store. They have some pretty good stuff to choose from. One of their locations has a pretty ripe smell going on in it. I wonder if thats just due to the large quantity of bolts of fabric they have for sale. Dyes and things. Anyway this location and the other location they have across the street should be suitable to satisfy all sorts of fabric tastes.

Review №38

Great fabric store! I love the home decor fabrics here. Make sure to check the monthly calendar on their website for sales before you go. Parking is nuts; just do some deep breathing and allow extra time.

Review №39

This cool Fabric Store shouldnt be considered a Jobber joint (where they have one-time fabric thats here today and gone tomorrow). Michael Levines Two adjacent Fabric Stores (their building number 2 is directly across the street!) carry a huge variety of Fabrics which they re-stock over & over when they run dry. This is perfect for the Sewer or Small Manufacturer who needs to count on their favorite fabric being there when the Halloween Sewing Season, for example, gets crazy!

I believe this is the best fabrics/notions store in LA county. They have a broad range of fabric blends and colors. Excellent customer service and they go above and beyond for special needs and fashion students. Dont forget to ask about their bargain fabrics that have been marked down, but still good quality.

Review №43

One of the largest fabric stores in the Fashion District. Also carrying trims, sewing supplies, etc. A bit pricey, which is the main reason I dont frequent this place. But its a far higher class experience than most other stores in the district. Very clean and well organized, with a lot of very helpful (Im assuming well-paid) employees. That may explain the premium prices. The best news is that they recently stated doing something about the prices. They have sales and discounts, now, which you can sign up for online or in-store.

Lovely yarn, lovely store, lovely and helpful men and women working there. A delight to visit when you are in CA . They have Tools and accessories for other crafts as well, ie- DMC floss. They will wind your yarn if you like.

Review №48

This is the retail fabric shopping experience in the middle of the wholesale fabric district. If you want to save time and have a big wide, clean store, with a bathroom to go with it, this is a good choice.but if you have the time to find the fabric around the corner at another store the smaller shops are much cheaper and will bargain with you unlike this one.

This is the go-to fabric stire in Los Angeles. They have their own small parking lot which validates. Parking is by meter on the street or by parking structure. Bring change!!! Structures could run up to $10. The place is not too big but has amazing finds. Everything is well organized and they have a large staff to help you. If youve never been, I would wonder around and check out everything. There is also an upholstery store right across the street and a very large craft store. This is the fabric district so you have many options just steps away.

Great store, this place is a must visit each time I visit the WEST COAST. Sales associates were very helpful, made recommendations for various fabrics for my projects. Excellent resource, reasonable prices, fabrics from around the world found here. The Cleàrance area has a Hugh SELECTION of quality fabrics, usually less than 10 yards available per bolt. Highly recommend this place! I have spotted contestants from Project Runway shopping here.

Review №56

I had heard that this place was such a good deal. I was so excited to go there. Boy, was I DISAPPOINTED!!!! While there was a lot of different fabrics, they were way too OVERPRICED! $10 - $12 dollars a yard for a cotton print! Eyelet for $ 19 and up! I got beautiful eyelet from the swap meet for $3 a yard. No one in my group bought a thing there. However, we all got some great prices in the smaller shops on the street. And each place we were able to bargain with the shop owners for cheaper prices. Forget Micheal Levines if you want good bargain material.

Review №57

Love this store but I wish the staff could be nicer. I’m a regular costumer here and I come in to buy fabric and also get swatches but when I ask for swatches the staff make faces like they don’t wanna help. Although, there’s like three people who do go out of their way to help me!

Review №58

Excellent selection and friendly staff. You can good deals on in-stock fabrics. The special orders can be pricey -- no better or worse than other places in that regard. Worth noting: they have a lot on Maple that offers free parking if you make a $20 purchase.

This place has a huge selection of fabric, and you can buy by the pound at the warehouse. The non-warehouse location was overpriced in my opinion, but the warehouse prices were a bargain. We will definitely be back to purchase more fabric. We also appreciated their seasonal and holiday options.

Review for the Michael Levine LOST across the street. $3/lb for fabric - mostly knits in giant bins that you have to dig through but GREAT deals to be had. Few fabrics on rolls, and since their move downstairs to the Home Fabrics building, a number of tables of folded fabric. No labels of any kind (type of fabric or content). During my trip yesterday, I saw lots of knit fabric, some lace/crochet fabric, sheer printed polyester type material (like the kind for scarves).

Excellent selection of textiles and well worth the drive from San Diego! The store might have been a little short staffed the couple of times Ive been as it was difficult to locate an employee to help me measure and cut fabric. Still a great mainstay nonetheless.

OMG. after like 80 years in business this good star establishment, with always quality and upscale merchandise, most if which reasonably priced,vis closing next month. The employee I spoke to thats been there 10 years didnt know why. At the moment the entire store is 20 percent off, surely to go higher as time goes by.

Review №78

Really great place. Variety is huge, you can find almost anything here. The prices are pretty high, on most things. Fabric prices in the same ball park as Joanns. However, the huge upside to this store, are the sales they often have. Their sales are insane (sometimes over 50% off) and can save so much money. They have a loft across the street, and fabric is incredibly cheap there

Impressive selection, though they did not have any Captain America fabric. 18 different kinds of Spiderman, but no Captain America. The staff is scant and aloof so expect to spend a lot of time here, waiting around. Overall though, its a good place for people who sew.

They carry a variety of fabrics. Those are surprisingly well organized. So you dont have to feel any stress to select textiles. For that, the price of fabrics they sell is little bit more expensive than those in other stores in fashion district, but they also have sections of discounted items.
